“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” – T.S. Eliot
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: I’ll say it. Spring is here. Whether that means spring skiing in the Cascades or finally getting back onto dry rock, it’s a great season to be outside enjoying the long days!
Cheers!

Skagit Alpine Club Meeting Notes: April 7, 2021
Juliet organized a SAC Spoof Tank for that one item you wish were invented for you next outdoor adventure. Thanks for the participation and great ideas!
The Basic Mountaineering Course:
It Begins: The first class is starting next week with our new format. Thanks for all of the hard work to completely revamp the class to adjust to the new Covid reality. Juliet, thanks for doing so much!
New Business:
Support for Alex: As most of you are aware by now, one of our most dedicated members and instructors, Alex Korteum, suffered a stroke in January. His recovery and rehabilitation have been going well, and he’s enjoying being home after his stay in the hospital. If you’re so inclined, here is a link to a GoFundMe campaign that’s been set up to help him and his family as he recovers. https://www.gofundme.com/f/29voa9w51c
Old Business:
Dues are due! It’s a new year. If you haven’t paid your dues, please do so using this link: https://www.skagitalpineclub.com/membership
SAC 60th Anniversary!
So what if SAC turns 61 this year? Last year doesn’t… Help us celebrate 60 years of SAC by climbing mountains! The club is attempting to summit all the Skagit 60 peaks in 2020 to commemorate the 60th anniversary. The website used to track our progress is skagit60.com.
